If you were hoping for some of the names on any of these lists then either
- you need your head looking at to even consider them!
- you may need to move country!

Illegal baby names in Denmark
If you’re naming your baby in Denmark you’ll most likely know someone with the same name because the country has a pre-approved list of names that you can pick from.
Not only that but if you want a name not on the list, you’ll have to get permission from Copenhagen University’s Names Investigation Department and at the Ministry of Ecclesiastical Affairs.
Better plan those names early to get your approval in!
A few names illegal in the country are:
1) Anus
2) Monkey
3) Pluto
4) Ashleiy
5) Jakobp
